A new meaning to transparent design

Mid-century modern black leather armchair with wooden accents and a swivel base, placed against a white brick wall.

The Idea

What happens when the familiar becomes strange? Replacing wood and leather with clear glass turned a common chair into something uncanny.

An animated scene of a sidewalk with a pink building that has a bookstore on the ground floor, and two windows above. There's a green trash bin, an abandoned chair with a matching green cushion, a purple chair, and a drink can on the ground. The street has trees with purple and brown leaves, streetlights, and a layer of fallen leaves.

The Creation

Light and composition set the mood. The chair was staged to feel stumbled upon, not showcased.

A 3D-rendered scene of an urban outdoor space, showing a sidewalk with several scattered papers, a building in the background with parked cars, and interior room details including chairs and shelves.

The Tools

iPhone motion data was captured and brought into Blender, creating a natural handheld perspective.

The Final Product

The animation shows the glass chair abandoned outside a bookstore with a “free” sign. It is an impossible object treated as ordinary.
